Re: [ROM][Beta 3]Ubuntu For Phones On Nexus S!

Its not a bug...hidden menu on the left side of the screen..and swipe screens to...
[Nexus S Android Development] saryu:
it's good, i love the UI. Thx for doing the work, i am looking forward to where this ubuntu is stable enough and can work as daily driver. For now, too many inconsistencies, lag, and bugs that needs to be sort out.

I think in the future, i will upgrade to ubuntu rather than Key Lime Pie.
[Nexus S Android Development] zeletrik:
what a shame it's based for swipe UI and we have soft keys :(

na another way.. must change to Galaxy Nexus or Nexus 4 :D
[Nexus S Android Development] kriout:
i was curios to test this porting, but i' have the powerbuttonnotworking problem ... so i wonder two things ... does volume keys wake the phone ??? is there any way to reboot in recovery mode from the ui ???
[Nexus S Android Development] jojoost:
Re: [ROM][Beta 3]Ubuntu For Phones On Nexus S!

You should disable the softkeys backlight! As they are useless
[Nexus S Android Development] BBuZZ:
Re: [ROM][Beta 3]Ubuntu For Phones On Nexus S!

Power button works, volume keys work for some, and you cannot go to recovery from UI...use the normal way...

Re: [ROM][Beta 3]Ubuntu For Phones On Nexus S!

The question was if it's possible wake up the device by pressing the volume key

[Nexus S Android Development] kriout:
ok .. then i think those are two important feature that must be added in a functional release ( of course not now ) .. pressing sound key to wake the phone and reboot in recovery mode ( going through ADB is not very functional , or anyway i don't even now how to do that :P )

Keep the good work :) and thanks everybody for your time !
[Nexus S Android Development] skarayala:
Re: [ROM][Beta 3]Ubuntu For Phones On Nexus S!

@kriout i think went they release the terminal emulator you will be able to reboot in recovery through the terminal like android

[Nexus S Android Development] solbg:
Installs fine and runs great at the beginning but starts to act ....weird. Still it's fun to try a new os and my opinion is that tis one may be my daily driver .... when it gets a little bit more stable. Sooo about the rom i did not find the setting , no feedback on the keyboard at all (i don't know why but that makes it hard for me to type) ,starts to be slow after you play with it for some time , you cant really stop any app that works in the background sms and calls work for me but i cant fine my contacts or how to add them, did not find an market (guessing there isn't any at this point), camera.... works better than my normal android camera , is faster too.The gallery i awesome i love it . All and all it's good to see how this will turn out but its great so far :D

The UI based on swype. So the keys do not working on ubuntu. :)

Swyped from my Nexus S using XDA app.

Short user guide

I flashed this preview release to my Nexus S this evening.

First impression: Whaou! This OS looks promissing.

Then I tried to use it. No that easy at first glance as as other people said, this is based on gestures only.

- Swype from the notification bar on top to the bottom and you get contectual menus depending on where you start (useful to setup wifi for instance)

- Swype from the left hand side to the right and you get a shortcut to the apps

- Swype from the middle of the screen to the right / left to navigate inside the apps (the way to get the SMS feature within the phone app for instance)

- Swype from the bottom to the middle to have access to the settings of an app (type the X to close the app)

If you want to use GSM network (call and SMS only, no data implemented yet), disable PIN code security on your simcard first (from another phone or ROM)

If like me you want to change your timezone, you have to use SSH

The list of all features of this preview release and a lot of useful information can be found here

How to add your Outlook contacts to Ubuntu Touch Preview

As a complement to my previous post, here is a way to create a simplified data.csv file to use the import feature. I use Outlook contacts and an Ubuntu laptop.

Export you Outlook contacts to a CSV file

Let's keep it simple and export only three fields: Fist name, name and mobile phone. You can do it from Outlook chosing the fields you want to export, you get a contacts.csv file that you can transfer to your Ubuntu laptop.

Modify the CSV file

First, let's delete all cariage returns to only keep line feeds. Do it using vi with a global substitution:

vi contacts.csv

inside vi enter the following sequence + ENTER

:1,$s/^M//g

to enter the ^M, type CTRL+V then M holding CTRL

then, remove all "

:1,$s/"//g

save your file and exit vi

:x!

Now, let's use awk to reformat it:

awk -F "," '{print $1 " " $2 ",,," $3 ",Mobile,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"}' contacts.csv > data.csv

edit data.csv with your favorite editor and insert the following first line in the file:

Name,E-mail 1 - Value,E-mail 2 - Value,Phone 1 - Value,Phone 1 - detail,Phone 2 - Value,Phone 2 - detail,,FacebookID,Facebook Status,Facebook-link,Favorite,poBox,extended address,street address,locality,region,postal code,country name

Save and exit

The CSV file to be used by Ubuntu Touch as to be utf-8 formatted. If needed you can convert it using iconv (you may need to install the convmv package: apt-get install convmv). To know about you current encoding type file -i data.csv.

For my case I used:

iconv -f iso8859-1 -t utf8 data.csv > data.csv.new

mv data.csv.new data.csv

your file is now ready to be used as an input of the official tutorial referenced in my previous post.

NEXUS S i9023
[Nexus S Android Development] jojoost:
Re: [ROM][Beta 3]Ubuntu For Phones On Nexus S!

Try redownloading the files. Maybe a bad zip
[Nexus S Android Development] Zahih:
Here are what I did:

0. Do Nandroid back Up.

1. Download those 3 files.

2. Save in sdcard (don't save in any folder).

3. Clean wipe in CWM (data, cache & Dalvik cache)

4. in CWM -> Mounts and storage -> format/system, format/cache, format/boot.

5. Flash ubuntuns-2.zip.

6. Flash ubuntu-preinstall.zip.

7. Reboot to system -> be patience, it takes couple minutes for the first reboot.

Pls note that for ubuntu-rootfs.tar.gz file should be save in sdcard , don't save in any folder. And Fyi, this file has a big size, about 400 Mb.

You can find the complete instruction + youtube in this link:

http://droidviews.com/2013/how-to-in...se-on-nexus-s/

And if you want to restore your Nandroid back up in CWM, Pls do point 3 and 4 before restore.

and as usual, DWYOR.:D
[Nexus S Android Development] BBuZZ:
Zahih, you forgot to mention that the files MUST BE flashed in the order you wrote..

Point 5 & 6 ?
[Nexus S Android Development] BBuZZ:
Yup.. If you flash preinstall first it wont work.. Your instructions are 100% correct... Just point that out...

It works for some and it doesn't for some others (including me and you). I guess, may be the problem is with the carriers, may be they are not defined in the touch preview. :angel:

Looking at your signature, you are a NS4G user. But still did you manage to install?

yup ns4g.. i thought this was for the ns4g. when i try to install any of the zips it says something to the effect of crespo device not found

[Nexus S Android Development] namian_semazen:
Im just thinking, if I successfully run this ubuntu on my device without any problem, here comes another problem. How can I run my usually apps like whatsapp, facebook, twitter, some other game for android apps inside this ubuntu?? can android package ( //?<.>.apk) be install? and run it just like inside any other rom? Or they all cannot be use after injecting ubuntu and run it as a daily driver? thats all I wanna know, sorry for this silly post :o

my english were very bad, hope you can understand me
[Nexus S Android Development] BBuZZ:
This ubuntu isn't ready for daily use..calls and SMS only work for some.. But when final version comes, problably will bring its own market..try this for fun, but my advice is to use it just for that..
[Nexus S Android Development] namian_semazen:
yup... I know that, after 3 hours playing with ubuntu os, i've found that sms and calls are the only thing work inside my i9023 here in malaysia :good: unfortunately, I cant check my prepaid balance, get stuck when try to play music, received a lot of sms from person i dont recognized, have an unknown contact list inside phonebook, couldn't find any option to resetting time & date, earphone doesn't work for call also listening music, camera can snap a picture but it wont load all our image inside the memory, keyboard won't turn off when I get out from conversation section, and also a little bit confuse how to use it :laugh:. Btw, I really love how it look, the ui, menu, interface, sliding option, statusbar and many more :good: hopefully the final version will give us a totally working ubuntu os and can be use as daily driver ;) good job dude :cowboy: will keep my eye on this thread.

Sell or not

Hi,

Im thinking of selling my Nexus S. But the approaching release of Ubuntu Touch stable by the end of the month keeps me back.

Question: What, after experienced this preview, would you think the speed of the system would be on NS? Or better to put it this way: do you think it would be a usable and "useful" system for daily use?

The thing is that I like compatibility of my NS but Im not going to buy Nexus 4 ... price, unable to replace battery on the move ... So, Im thinking twice before selling it ...

Thanks for opinions ...
[Nexus S Android Development] teoserio:
I'll stick with beloved NS until he die. Money reason firstly.. also because the more you wait the more are the possibilities to find a good offer for one of the big brother (GN / N4).

Second is community, NS is still one of the best

[Nexus S Android Development] michalurban:
Hi,

according to this article (http://www.jonobacon.org/2013/05/17/dogfooding-the-ubuntu-phone-my-early-experience/), Ubuntu Touch will be pretty much ready for daily use by the end of this month. Are you going to port it for NS then? Im asking because if you dont plan to do that Im selling my phone ... :)

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamboboy732:
After about 10 tries I still cant get this damn tablet to work with the toolkit. I screwed up while updating and lost root, now I cant get the root toolkit to recognize my device after installing the drivers on any pc (tried win two with 8 and two with 7). I have no clue what to do as I was able to unlock and root it initially but now I cant redo it to get my device back and in working order. This is driving me insane!!!!!!!!! I am using the most recent toolkit, and my tablet is on 4.2.2 unlocked but no longer rooted.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Another satisfied toolkit customer. Did you pay for the privilege? If yes, I suppose you should call their support department during normal business hours.

It's a little surprising. I can see that the behavior of ADB might have changed - when the regular OS is booted. (This is a new security feature of 4.2.2 adb - you need the latest SDK version of the "adb" program)

And if you used the OTA, then the custom recovery was replaced by the 4.2.2 stock recovery, so ADB won't even show up there (stock recoveries don't run the "adbd" daemon).

But I would think that you should be able to use fastboot, even if the bootloader was also upgraded.

So, a couple of questions.

A) Can you get the tab into bootloader mode?

B) Does it show version 4.18 on that screen?

C) Does the recovery appear to have been replaced by a stock recovery?

D) Does your PC (pick one and stick with it) show an Unknown Device, or something else when you plug the tab in whilst it is in bootloader/fastboot mode?

E) From the command line, what happens when you run "fastboot devices" either from the command line or from the toolkit when the device is plugged to the PC and in bootloader/fastboot mode?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamboboy732:
Thanks for the fast reply. First of I thought the toolkit was free, since it is posted in many forums and you can download it right from the developers site. Next, I did use the OTA like a moron because I forgot that this was my unlocked and rooted nexus. Now to your questions:

A: I can get it into bootloader

B: The version is 4.18

C: The recovery only shows up with the droid dude and a red !

D: On my Win8 Desktop it shows up under Andriod Phone as 'Android ADB Interface' in device manager

E: in the comand line I get the serial of my tablet
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
This

>> E: in the comand line I get the serial of my tablet

is good.

the droid dude is the stock recovery. It actually sounds to me like the OTA succeeded for you - as you are showing both stock recovery and the 4.18 bootloader.

With the tablet in fastboot mode, just flash a custom recovery and you are good to go. You can either use "fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery-image-file.img", or the equivalent operation in the toolkit.

Then, boot into recovery, and see if

A) the custom recovery appears correctly, and

B) if ADB now shows up either via command line or the toolkit (with the device in custom recovery).

If you got your adb & fastboot tools via installation of the Android SDK, make sure it is updated to the latest version

adb version

should report something like 1.0.31 (iirc)

good luck
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RBJ26:
Since I can't post in the thread, I'll have to post it here instead.

I've just got a question, has anyone else noticed their battery stats show the message "battery usage data isn't available" ?

I'd just like to know if it's my shift or some other problem. I have tried to wipe battery stats in recovery, but it does not fix the issue.

any help is appreciated

Also, I noticed the same problem as another poster, my camera also takes pictures with the green line on the side. I found that if I switched to 3mp resolution, that fixes it for me.

and a BIG thanks to Preludedrew and the rest of the team for a great ROM.

Thanks,

Just an FYI, you wipe your battery stats every time you reboot... Wiping battery stats in recovery is just a placebo effect... Just a time waster. It was already done when you rebooted.;) Android OS has done this since the beginning.
